When I launch Firefox several windows open and several Sign In requests. How can I resolve?

This has been happening for the past 3-4 days. I click to open Firefox and anywhere from 3 to 6 separate windows open along with 1-2 sign in windows and a web address that I was on 2 days ago. If I close them all, and just leave one open, when I try to access any website, all the windows open again.

Re-setting the Home page did the trick (I think). by clicking on the icon to the left of the Home page and dragging it to the Home icon as you indicated. Would never have thought of that one. So thanks a lot. An annoying problem has been resolved!!!

  • When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, how can I get the browser to open the homepage the next time I start it while the download window is still open?

    When I have the downloads window open and I close the browser window, the next time I reopen the browser while the downloads are still going, it returns me to the last page I was on. All previous versions of Firefox would return me to my homepage which I would prefer. Please let me know if this is possible.

    When you re-open Firefox and choose Restore Session, by default it picks up your most-recently-open window, and the other windows should then show up in Recently Closed Windows.
    The Firefox add-on Session Manager lets you manage how many closed windows and closed tabs are saved, in case it's not enough.

  • When using spotlight, the preview window opens and refuses to close

    The spotlight preview window won't close.  It just sits on top of anything else that you have open.  It is a massive pain, particularly when i have about 50 windows open and have to restart the computer to remove it.  Any suggestions?

    Closing apps doesn't help (Until i close everything and restart the computer).  It seems to be stuck to a space.  Because when i shift spaces, it stays there.  Next time i might try deleting the space and see what happens.
    Spotlight is not indexing, it's just open.  Unofrtunately i forgot to take a screenshot of activity monitor, but i took some of what the problem looks like:

    Have the purchaser go to Settings/Store, tap your Apple ID and then choose Sign out.
    The purchaser will then need to tap Sign in and enter their own Apple ID for their iTunes account.

    Hello,
    Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
    To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
    #Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
    #Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
    #Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
    # Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
    # Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
    # Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
    # Restart Firefox.
    This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
    Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

    thank you for responding.
    this does not solve my problem, as i mentioned the problem is with the HTML5 player, i've been using flash player since forever and used to open up to 50 tabs without having any problems, with the new default html5 thingy i cannot open a couple of tabs without the browser dying slowly.. my original question was how can i disable the HTML5 player and make the flash player be the default player

  • Firefox won't open and won't uninstall so I can re-install and start anew. HELP!

    I'm on a Dell laptop with Windows Vista using the latest version of Mozilla Firefox. My son was playing a game online (addicting games website I think) and the whole game screen didn't show up, he had to scroll. I went to the top of the page and right clicked and closed the address bar and menu bar so they weren't in the way. I've done this in the past and it worked fine. Not this time! When I went back to put those bars back on I couldn't do it. I had no address bar, no forward, back, refresh and home buttons, no file, edit, view buttons etc. I looked in my internet settings and all over the place and couldn't figure out how to replace those bars. I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but those bars still were not there. I did this again after deleting browsing history (cookies and all) in case this problem was saved in my preferences. Still, no bars or buttons. I tried to uninstall again but now it won't even uninstall! It stubornly stays right there! It also won't even open now! I click on the icon and it sits. I right click the icon and hit open and it sits. I'm dead in the water. I can't even sign in to Pogo anymore because IE crashes everytime. I hate IE.....HELP!

    Right... Back to square one.
    - Open Internet Explorer, go to "www.mozilla.com" and download the installer for Firefox 3.6.12 and save it to your desktop.
    - To uninstall Firefox, first make sure no "firefox.exe" processes are running on your machine: Open the task manager (invoke it by pressing ctrl-alt-del and choosing the appropriate option), click on the "Processes" tab, click on the heading "Name" to sort all running processes by name.
    Scroll down the list and right-click on the first "firefox.exe" process picking the "Kill process" option. If there's more than one of them, repeat for all instances of "firefox.exe".
    - Now go to the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall and double-click "helper.exe". This should uninstall Firefox completely.
    - Now we're in for the hard part: Go to C:\Dokuments and Settings\[Your User Name]\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles. That's where your profile resides. Unless you're using the Profile Manager, chances are you're seeing just one directory "[random string],default". (In my case it's called "4sr92zjz.default", f. ex.).
    If you got any bookmarks you'd like to keep, open this folder, find the file "places.sqlite" and move it to your desktop.
    Now delete the entire contents of your profile folder--you'll need to configure firefox anew. Do keep this window open, you'll need it again in a few moments.
    Go to your desktop, run the installer, start Firefox once, close it again and move your "places.sqlite" file from your desktop to your profile folder.
    Now double-click Firefox and reconfigure it according to your preferences.
    N.B.: Do get "MozBackup". With this application you're able to save and restore a working Firefox profile--for your next mishap ;-)

  • When opening firefox I get, Can't connect to server on my homepage, but I can then open websites from my bookmarks. How can I resolve this?

    I get a long load time when I open firefox 35. Then cannot connect to server, however i can then open websites fine via my bookmarks list. Tries reinstalling, did not help, made google my homepage in options, does not help.

    Does this happen every time? Or is it only when your computer is first turned on/waken up?
    If you open another browser (Internet Explorer/Chrome/...) does it do the same thing?
    I might be that your computer takes a few seconds to (re-)establish its network connectivity after sleeping. Try this
    #Click Start
    #Type Computer Management
    #Click the first result or push enter
    #Click '''Device Manager'''
    #Expand network adapters
    #Right click on your network adapter then click '''Properties'''
    #Click on '''Power Management'''
    #Uncheck "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

  • I have 2 firefox windows open, each with multiple tabs. How can I set in which Firefox Window new pages will be opened ?

    That is, when I click on a link in a document, email etc.

    You can make a backup copy of the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder to have a backup of your open tabs.

  • New windows open as something ridiculously small. How can I reset default window size?

    New windows open in a space the size of a postage stamp. Quite literally. I have to grab them and expand them in order to even use them.

    Firefox should remember the size of the last closed window. Once you have stretched it out to the desired size, make it the last window you close. If Firefox stubbornly refuses to remember settings changes, then you might want to consult this article: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences+are+not+saved Preferences are not saved].
    Any luck?
